Basically when I connect using localhost everything is fine(N.B I can connect using my IP address while working on the localhost), but as soon as I move to a remote location and want to connect using my IP address I get a connection timeout error (java.net exception)!

I've tried using the following mySQL commands:

GRANT ALL ON casino.* to "root"@"%" IDENTIFIED BY "tecres";

followed by:

>mysqladmin -u username -p reload

but this hasn't solved the problem! Have I missed anything? Are there any setting in my.ini need to be changed/set?

The firewall on the server is disabled.

Been trying to figure this out for about 5 days, still no luck, any help will be appreciated.
